Several times a week in consultation, I answer questions like these:<\/p>\n
\u201cI need to replace my breast implants after 10 years, right?\u201d Wrong.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cYou did my breast implants 14 years ago and I\u2019m still happy with their appearance, but a friend just had her 10-year-old implants redone because her doctor said she had to. Is that true?\u201d False.<\/em><\/p>\n Breast implants don\u2019t have an expiration date. They only need to be replaced if they deflate (saline) or rupture (silicone), and they\u2019re not fragile.<\/p>\n It\u2019s no surprise that women believe that implants have a shelf life, but what causes the confusion? Breast implants come with a free lifetime<\/em> product replacement policy. Manufacturers also offer a 10-year warranty to defray some costs of implant replacement surgery. When women hear this, some assume they have to replace their implants after 10 years.<\/p>\n
